Micah’s Planet

As a side-effect of being unemployed, I just played a 20+ minute game of Tetris exceeding 375 lines. Shades of King of Kong? I hope not.

Last summer I talked my sister into getting a Netflix Roku player, she loves it and describes it as “like having free pay-per-view”. Being such a tremendous technology nerd, I couldn’t let my sister have something so awesome and not have one myself… so I asked for and received a Roku for my birthday.
Roku works […]

I got the final Futurama movie, Into the Wild Green Yonder from Netflix yesterday. I enjoyed it and it compares favorably to the previous three direct to DVD movies.
It is obvious that the people working on this show/movies are very talented and truly love what they do. Alas, none of the movies have the same […]

Lately I have been musing about the long-term consequences of the collapse of easy credit. In particular I have been thinking about a looming problem possibly on par with the foreclosure crisis that hasn’t (as far as I can tell) been getting much attention… the effects this will have on retail space.
Over the last 20-odd […]

Starbase is the name of my current desktop machine. It consists of a 3.2 GHz P4 (HT) on a Intel 865PERL motherboard with 3GB of RAM. This machine can trace its ancestry to the machine I got my freshman year of college…
An 800MHz Gateway Athlon that was most appropriately named Vader  was the machine to […]

Yesterday I made butternut squash soup, one of my favorite recipes from one of my favorite magazines. It’s a delightful soup for a cool fall day, especially with a sprinkling of nutmeg just before serving. One part of the recipe calls for sautéing the seed and fibers of the squash in butter… as this is […]

No, I didn’t misspell Redoubt.
I’m contemplating a reading/mental version of a “walkabout”. There are topics that interest me that I never had a chance to pursue, and there are gaps in my education that I would like to fill.
I never learned anything about fungi (outside of antibiotics), I never learned anything about botany. Even areas […]

I’ve had it with the molecular biology software that is available. It’s clunky, buggy and poorly designed. Often this crap is proprietary and expensive.
This leads to people resisting buying upgrades… leading people to use ancient Macintosh software written for the 68020 processor on an Intel Mac. When it doesn’t work (since Apple killed 68k […]

I did have at least one nice thing back in Moscow. I had some comic books waiting for me in the mail.
I subscribe to  comics through the website HeavyInk. It’s a great site. Prices are reasonable, shipping is free and it is obviously run by people who love comics. While it doesn’t replace the browsing […]
